Utensils
•Pot with Lid
Instructions
1
- Chop the potatoes into 1cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Trim the carrot and cut diagonally into ½ cm thick slices (no need to peel).
- Trim the parsnip and cut into 1cm rounds.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
2
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the chicken and fry until lightly browned, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Season with oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.
- Cook for 1 min more.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh. It will still taste delicious once cooked!

- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 mins.
4
- Pour 400ml water (double for 4p) into the pot along with the stock powder.
- Bring to the boil, add the potatoes and cover with the lid.
- Cook until the potatoes are just fork tender and the chicken is cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
